A never to be forgotten African adventure
5/5

We booked a two week Tanzanian safari with Roho Ya Chui and our experience from the beginning was exceptional. We researched many different companies and costs and our interaction with Ute was always informative and honest, which we appreciated. We were very clear about the itinerary we wanted, and our needs, and she successfully put together a programme that exceeded our expectations. The lodges were all very different - some more modern, some more basic - but they all catered for our needs and everywhere we went the people were incredible. Despite our dietary requirements, we were looked after well and always with the kindness and hospitality that east Africa is famous for. Our guide was an excellent driver, addressed all the administrative needs of the trip, was easy to be around and took care of all our needs and requests. We travelled with our two daughters, who were well looked after wherever we went. My favourite accommodation was Serengeti Kati-Kati, which was 'simple' but a beautiful 'Out of Africa' experience and the most phenomenal wildlife sightings. Another highlight was climbing Oldoinyo Lengai near Lake Natron - which was very challenging but a wonderful accomplishment. We celebrated some significant family moments on this trip and it was a truly well organised and magical experience.

Excellent Kruger Safari
5/5

My girlfriend and I went for the first time on safari and we hoped to see the big five. We saw them every day! It was amazing and our guide Peter was the man. He found them all and he was extremely knowledgeable. The tour was well organized and all went very smooth. Thanks Roho Ya Chui! We'll come back.

One of the most memorable trips we ever made
5/5

We booked “Kruger, Panorama Route & Sabi Sands” Package (4 days) with accommodation at Rissington Inn.
We would book it again. This package is perfect for everyone who is looking for a first safari experience. Everything was nicely arranged and the guides provided very interesting information and made our game drives to unforgettable adventures.
The Rissington Inn is a nice place to stay. The rooms (bungalow) are huge and very quiet. The cuisine of Rissington Inn is top and the staff really cares about the guests.

Fabulous trip. Ute has a magical way of creating a special experience unique to your specifications.
5/5

We chose Roho Ya Chui to help us plan a trip for my husband's 50th Birthday. He decided on an African safari but beyond that we lacked direction so we reached out to Roho Ya Chui & Ute. It was the best decision ever made. We saw so much more than we dreamed of, never back tracking and stayed at the most amazing lodges and tents. At every stay we felt very special and the 50th Birthday was celebrated before, during and after. The service was 5 Star Plus. We were very fortunate and saw the Big 5 the first 24 hours of our first safari stop. We had such wonderful communication with Ute. She was flexbile, supportive and helped with many naive first time questions we had. I never dreamed that 2 weeks in Africa with 9 flights, 4 different stops and several cultures would be the easiest and most amazing trip of our life but it was. THANKS so much !!!

A Most Magnificent Safari Experience
5/5

From the first contact to our departure for home after a most magnificent 4 week trip, the organization and communications with us have been nothing but first class.
Every enquiry sent during the planning stages was replied to within 24 hours at the most - usually within one hour.
The combination of the 3 &Beyond safari's combined with alternate style Pakmisa resort provide a good balance of safari experiences. Whilst we finished up doing 21 three to four hour safari's, we never got tired of the wonderful experiences each trip provided.
The 1 week car hire and our drive through Swaziland was another different, yet enjoyable facet of the trip.
The hotel accommodation in Jo'burg (Clico and Four Seasons) and Cape Town including the upgrades were exceptional complete with unbelievable inclusive breakfasts.
Thanks Ute for an unforgetable safari experience, provided at a very realistic price

An amazing and unforgettable safari experience with Roho Ya Chui! Ute is wonderful!
5/5

My husband and I wanted to include a safari, prior to our tour to Cape Town for a cricket festival. After quite a bit of research, I contacted Roho Ya Chui and Ute to help plan our Safari. It was the best decision we could have made. It was our first time on a safari and I can honestly say it was perfect. We saw the big five in the first 24 hours. Arathusa safari lodge is wonderful. Our guide and tracker Roy and Chris were extremely knowledgeable. The accommodation, food and staff at Arathusa are all five star. Ute is a wealth of knowledge, made very helpful suggestions and is a pleasure to deal with. Thanks Ute!

perfect organisation and a lot of intuition for the personal requirements of the customer
5/5

Being 77, everyone and sundry thought me very courageous (or crazy) for booking a trip to the other end of the world. But thanks to the knowledge and experience of Royo's Ute, I had the time of my life and came back feeling 10 years younger

Roho Ya Chui gave us ULTIMATE safari adventure unlike No Other!!
5/5

You gave us a "True" African adventure and exceeded our expectations. Had we gone to So Africa and Botswana on the first leg of our trip, we would have been Very Disappointed that the rest couldn't match what you provided. Our only regret was that we did not stay longer. Our permanent tents were luxurious; our non-permanent tent was comfortably rustic and took us back in time. The food and staff at Every site was Excellent; we especially loved the true Botswana lunch prepared special for us by Judy at Okavango Delta. A special Thanks also to Sunny Boy at Sabi Sands.

Our Best Vacation Ever
5/5

When we started planning our safari in South Africa we really had no idea where to begin. We found Roho Ya Chui through browsing on the internet. This greatly facilitated the planning of our trip. Everything was clearly explained and the many questions we had were answered quickly and accurately. As everything was very well arranged, our trip went smoothly and completely stress-free. We stayed at the Ngala and Kirkman's Camp lodges and loved every minute. The customer service and friendliness was of a level we had never seen during our travels. The game drives were some of the best experiences of our lives. This was also one of the few vacations when we were really looking forward to getting up at 5 am every day to join the game drive. We had a truly fantastic time and have already started thinking about planning our next safari. We can fully recommend Roho Ya Chui for helping you to plan your safari and recommend staying at the Ngala and Kirkman's Camp lodges. Suzie & Axel, April 2015.
